摘要：
A new method for low temperature deposition of surface textured ZnO:Al is presented utilizing an expanding thermal plasma created by a cascaded are. Films are deposited at 200 degreesC at the rate of 0.65-0.75 nm s(-1) exhibiting low resistivity (<10(-3) <Omega> cm), high visible transmittance (>80%) and a rough surface texture. First application in p-i-n a-Si:H solar cells indicates promising light trapping properties. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
